[pimped6gen]

I just bought a clutch (Centerforce dual friction) and i have been looking for a flywheel for the past hr or so. Why are they so expensive?! Damn i wish i had a civic (not)...Well is it really worth the money? If so i guess ill start saving up ...lemme know if any of u have flywheels and really saw 500 dollars worth of improvement....thanks in advance

was under impression being lighter they rotated easier(less inertia) and could rev easier

edit: slow rev's compared to other engines out there, ie. honda with it's quick revs not only due to short gearing but v-tech

Revving the engine has nothing to do with gearing, only the power/weight ratio of the flywheel and such. You are correct in assuming that less weight = fast revs, and thats helps in getting the engine higher in the power band quicker. It also helps in connecting the wheels with more power from the engine.

Its worth it in certain applications, but i dont kno if you wanna spend that money on a non-turbo 5s or 7a engine.
